Religion
Sunny Skies
From Songs for All Seasons, and Other Poems (1901)
Religion
Who would have them always so?
Clouds must come and tempests blow.
We would sing a doleful tune
Were there not a rose in June,
See the willing drops come down
Chatter! patter! till the brown
Barren hill tops are as bright
As the stars that gem the night.
